Abstract
A method, device, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided for efficiently registering a relational schema. In co-compilation and data guide approaches, a subset of entities from schema descriptions are selected for physical registration, and other entities from the schema descriptions are not physically registered. In the co-compilation approach, a first schema description references a second schema description, and the subset includes a set of entities from the second schema description that are used by the first schema description. In the data guide approach, the subset includes entities that are used by a set of structured documents. In a pay-as-you-go approach, schema registration includes logically registering entities without creating relational database structures corresponding to the entities. A database server may execute database commands that reference the logically registered entities. A request to store data for the entities may be executed by creating relational database structures to store the data.
